verifying progress bar on every file.

Hi All,

I upgraded my software today to macOS High Sierra and it now seems whenever I open a file be in media or others I get a prompt about "verifying the file". I just went to use Zipeg and when I went to extract I got the same message again and it took about 5 minutes for the verifying file bar to go away.

Is anyone else having this issue? I'm hoping its a basic setting that I need to turn off but so far no luck in finding anything.

Thanks in advance.

iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13)

Every step has been taken to do the checks you recommend you will see in this thread that that has been discussed. At this point and time No One should have to do a complete erase and reinstall.

I just had a 20GB file that took close to 20 minutes to verify. Which when doing so pretty much slows the computer down to a crawl. I couldn't even read any of these responses during that time as they would not fully load. Reading on other sites this was a known issue in beta version and nothing was done. I work with large files daily and this is really not acceptable.

Running the command that I posted provides a temporary fix for the problem with opening files on shared volumes until apple comes up with a proper solution. That’s all that matters to me for now.

I spent a day and a half running the un-encrypting tool on of my 512GB SSD. Still, does not load. Disk utility reports it as APFS. All my other volumes are Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

I found this:

Run the following command in terminal window:

defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices LSQuarantine -bool NO

then restart computer.

worked for me, good luck!

Yep, that's exactly what was suggested by me on page 4 of this thread.

yes, the quarantine service can be switched back on.

Instead of exposing the Mac to security issue, I prefer to mount the share directly from Finder (Cmd-K). It works without problem.

Oct 12, 2017 12:38 AM in response to fabio56

It's only a security issue if you frequently download tons of potentially dangerous files that need to be checked before opening. Not my case.

It fixed mine too!

Thanks a lot for sharing! 🙂

Thanks for the heads up fabio56. I haven't heard anything. Curious when they will release it? I do think I will wait before trying again as things have been perfect since going back to Sierra.
